Review

One
of the rare coming-out films centered around a female character,
Rees’s raw, highly compelling, partially autobiographical full-length
directorial debut follows Alike (Adepero), a middle-class young black
lesbian discovering her sexuality in Fort Greene. Wayans turns in a
heartbreaking performance as the conflicted mother and Walker is
excellent as Alike’s ultra-butch best friend, but the film belongs to
newcomer Adepero in the main role.
